"Holy crap, this is great." was a phrase I must've uttered a dozen times while playing Super Mario Galaxy. It's a game that keeps throwing unique idea's and worlds at you, with most of them feeling incredibly distinct from each other and all offering their own spin on how to get around.

Power-ups can be used in a ton of interesting ways and you might not even realize some of your options until a level forces you to think outside of the box. The usage of these powers is interwoven into the level-design but it never feels overwhelming or needlessly complicated. Again, it's just amazing how this game manages to throw idea after idea at you at the rate that is while staying interesting. It can be reasonably challenging, also because sometimes it takes a while until the game fully works with you, but I can easily recommend this to anyone as a masterpiece.
